The knowledge of anatomy and physiology that is taught will back up the information you give out. This course does qualify you as a Personal Trainer and is accepted for full PT liability insurance with ‘Balens’ and ‘Fitness Professionals’ insurers.

Assessment:

Assessment and subsequent certificate award will be by means of a practical assessment including client appraisal as well as demonstration of sound knowledge on exercise prescription and demonstration of technique. There will also be a written theory exam to verify underpinning knowledge on anatomy and physiology, exercise protocols and safety issues. We at GB Fitness feel the ‘multiple-choice’ system of testing is a poor reflection of the student’s knowledge and does not lead to the best of communication between client and trainer. Our students can pride themselves on ‘knowing’ their topic and ‘thinking’ through issues to create the best result possible.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY…

” I’ve known Cain for over 25 years, and in that time he’s gone from being an enthusiastic student of bodybuilding and physical culture to a highly respected expert on this as well as many other associated disciplines. Having this background on Cain, there was really only one option for me when it came to studying to become a qualified PT, but even with this it hadn’t prepared me for what was to come. Not only is Cain’s knowledge diverse, his understanding of his subject matter is exceptionally deep. But knowledge and depth of understanding are only part of the story; what makes a truly great teacher is the ability to effectively convey concepts and theory at multiple levels, thus enabling students in the same class, all with varying degrees of understanding and experience to understand what’s being taught. This really sets Cain apart from others in his field.

So, enough of the man and the method, what about the course? Comprehensive and in-depth are two words that sum it up, as does the phrase “it isn’t easy”. Despite my many years of training and competing, and my science based qualifications, I learned a lot. A hell of a lot. A lot of new concepts to help broaden my knowledge base, but as the course went on it became apparent that I had to unlearn things that I’d been doing incorrectly for years which had become so ingrained that I accepted they were right – there were many of these Eureka moments for me throughout the course which have brought a new dimension to my own training.

If you’re looking to be stretched and tested and you really want to learn and understand the subject, this is the course for you. It’s hard. It’s intense. It’s testing. It’s demanding. But, when you’ve qualified you’ll know it was worth the effort and that your new qualification actually means something, and that as a PT you’ll have the best foundation possible, which even in the early days of practising will put you at a level way beyond most experienced PT’s.”

Nic White

A GB Fitness qualified PT with a long history in the health, fitness and nutrition industry.

“He’s massively influenced my life to change my simmering thoughts of comfortable success to a burning inferno of a vision to become one of the country’s leading nutritional practitioners, trainers, and bodybuilding competitors!

 Education is big on the agenda in regards to developing yourself constantly and being around people that can have a positive people impact on your life. I call these people OQP’s…Only Quality People!
Cain is just that, pure quality.

He’s outspoken, opinionated and he’s pretty misunderstood, but that’s because he’s educated and to that I will ask any doubters how would you not want to be educated by this calibre of knowledge?
Elements of “The Secret” and the law of attraction cannot be ignored since I invested into Cain’s Advanced Nutritional Diploma.
I’ve competed as a drug free bodybuilder for over 12 years now and even though I’ve had successes I know now with Cain’s knowledge installed in me and with my choice of having him as my coach I will be pretty competitively deadly for the forthcoming years.

My Personal training business- Trainwise Lifestyle with Fitness Coaching- has indeed improved since my qualification in June 2016 both with client addition and financially. I’ve made a point of restructuring my life to keep on being educated by saving up and investing in courses and seminars predominately with Cain because as he says.. “The more you learn the more you earn”!
The people that come in my life now are indeed those of quality and my point  is that a course with Cain isn’t just a course, it can really act as the cement to bricks that can structure your visionary building towards your principle goal.”
